[Verse 1]
If you feel that it's real, I'm on trial
And I'm here, in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I been dented and I'm spent with high treason
[Pre-Chorus]
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
[Chorus]
Take me to the pilot, lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot, lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, I am but a stranger
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na (Come on)
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 2]
Woo, well, I know that he's old
And I'm told, I’m told that he's a virgin
Well he may be she
So, I'm told but I’m never, never for certain
[Pre-Chorus]
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
[Chorus]
Take me to the pilot, lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot, come on and lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, you know that I am but a stranger
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Come on
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Woo, come on dear
[Pre-Chorus]
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul, yeah
[Chorus]
Take me to the pilot, come on and lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, you know that I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot, come on and lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, you know that I am but a stranger
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na, na-na-na (Hey, hey)
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na (Hey)
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na (Come on, you know it by now)
[Outro]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Hey (Na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na) Yeah, come on
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na) Oh, ooh-oh
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
